What you're walking into

Most AI webinars want your budget. This one wants to give you a map.

We've sat through enough of the other kind to know what the difference looks like. Here's our promise for the 45 minutes you're giving us.

What it's not

Not a 30-minute pitch. Not a slide deck with our logo on every page. Not "schedule a discovery call to learn more". You'll leave knowing things, not wanting things.

What it is

The full landscape of UK AI apprenticeships in 2026, levy-funded routes, the four Level 4 variants, the three AI Leadership Units, and which one suits which role on your team. Said plainly.

The interesting bit

A live demo of Coachy, the AI tutor we built on Claude that's now in the pocket of every TESS AI apprentice. Voice, KSB-aware, EPA-safe. Nobody else in the UK has this.

Live in the session

You'll see Coachy, our AI tutor, demoed live.

An actual conversation with the tool that sits in every TESS AI apprentice's pocket. Voice in, voice out, scoped to the apprenticeship standard, designed never to write portfolio evidence on the apprentice's behalf. Built on Claude, Anthropic's frontier AI model.

No other UK apprenticeship provider has this. We'll show you why it matters.

Coachy, what's a KSB?
Good question. KSB stands for Knowledge, Skill, or Behaviour, the building blocks of any apprenticeship standard. Want me to show you how they map to your assessment outcomes?
Yes please
Right then. For ST1512, there are 24 KSBs grouped under 6 Assessment Outcomes...
Take-homes

What you'll walk away with.

Three concrete things, all yours to keep, even if you never speak to TESS again.

Who it's for

Built for the person who's been asked to "do something about AI".

If you're one of these three, this session is for you. If you're not, the recording is still worth your time.

L&D

L&D and HR Directors

You've got levy sitting unspent and a board asking what you're doing about AI. You need to choose a programme that actually delivers, defend it internally, and not get locked into something fluffy.

OPS

Operations and Business Unit Leaders

You manage the people who'd actually do the apprenticeship. You want to know what they'll come out the other side able to do, and what 12 months of "doing the apprenticeship" looks like in their week.

SMT

Founders, MDs, Senior Leaders

You don't want a 200-page strategy. You want a clear answer to: "what should we be doing about AI capability in our workforce, what's funded, and who do I trust to deliver it." 45 minutes.

The 45 minutes

Agenda.

Tight, no padding, finishes on time. Q&A is real.

0:00

The state of UK AI apprenticeships in 2026

What's funded, what's available, what's being defunded, and where the actual market is moving. 5 minutes, no slides.

0:05

The Level 4 (12 months, levy-funded) and its four variants

AI & Automation Practitioner, AI for People Leaders (CMI L3), AI for Operations Leaders (CMI L5), AI for Coaching Professionals (CMI L5). Plus the included industry quals like Microsoft AB-730.

0:25

Live demo of Coachy

The AI tutor we built on Claude. Voice in, voice out. KSB-aware. EPA-safe. We'll do an actual coaching exchange in front of you.

0:35

Open Q&A

You ask, we answer, no script. We'll stay over if there's still hands up.

Hosted by

Rod Doyle and Lisa O'Reilly.

Run by the people actually building and delivering the programme, not someone reading a script.

RD

Sensible questions

FAQ.

Will I get a recording if I can't make it live?
Yes. Register for whichever session is closest to working for you and we'll email the recording within 24 hours. You can register and not show, no awkwardness.
Can I bring colleagues from my team?
Absolutely, please do. Each person should register separately so we know to expect them and can email the recording and one-pager to each of them individually.
Is this actually levy-funded? My finance team always asks.
Both the Level 4 apprenticeship (12+ months) and the three AI Leadership Units (30 hours each) are levy-fundable for eligible UK employers. Non-levy SMEs use government co-investment. We'll show you the live numbers in the session.
Will I be sold to afterwards?
We'll send the recording, the one-pager, and one follow-up email asking if you'd like a discovery call. That's it. If you want one, great. If not, you'll never hear from us again.
What tools do you cover?
Microsoft Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, plus practical automation tools like Power Automate, n8n, and Zapier. We're tool-agnostic and standards-led, not Microsoft-only or "AI vendor of the year".
